What’s on TVWAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES (2017) 9 p.m. on FXX. The new big-screen adaptation of Jack London’s “The Call of the Wild” shares an actor with “War for the Planet of the Apes,” but you won’t see his face in either movie: He’s Terry Notary, a motion-capture performer whose movements provided the basis for the digital dog that stars opposite Harrison Ford in “The Call of the Wild,” and who played one of Andy Serkis’s chimpanzee companions in the “Planet of the Apes” movies of the 2010s. “War for the Planet of the Apes,” the most recent one of those, completes the story of Caesar, the chimpanzee revolutionary played by Serkis. It hinges on a rivalry between Caesar and an angry human colonel played by Woody Harrelson. (Caesar spends much of the series proving that he has more humanity than the humans in it, who want to wipe out his species.) “The motion-captured, digitally sculpted apes are so natural, so expressive, so beautifully integrated into their environment, that you almost forget to be astonished by the nuances of thought and emotion that flicker across their faces, often seen in close-up,” A.O. Scott wrote in his review for The New York Times.THE LEGEND OF TARZAN (2016) 5:30 p.m. on TNT. More digital apes and human villains can be found in this Tarzan rethink, which casts Alexander Skarsgard as a version of that literary son of nature. Directed by David Yates, this take on the story is built loosely around history: It pairs Skarsgard’s Tarzan with a fictionalized version of the 19th-century American George Washington Williams (Samuel L. Jackson), who publicly denounced the violent colonialism led by King Leopold II of Belgium in Central Africa. The plot pits Tarzan and Williams against Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz), an oppressor in a white suit.IT’S PERSONAL WITH AMY HOGGART 10 p.m. on TBS and TruTV. The sometimes “Full Frontal With Samantha Bee” correspondent Amy Hoggart helps a New York executive develop her sense of humor in the first episode of this new comedy-documentary series, which chronicles Hoggart’s attempts to help people work through common issues. Highlights of the episode include a scene in which an expert breaks down the psychological effects of a goofy knock-knock joke. Its punchline revolves around Sean Connery.What’s StreamingWEST SIDE STORY (1961) Stream on Starz platforms; rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube. The Times’s dance critic, Gia Kourlas, wrote an article this week about how Jerome Robbins’s choreography is missed in the current production of “West Side Story” on Broadway. “What Robbins created wasn’t just a series of dances, however peerless,” she wrote, “but an overarching view of how, beyond anything else, movement could tell a story.” See some of that choreography in action in this classic film version of the musical, which followed Robbins’s original Broadway production. This isn’t purely Robbins’s vision, though: He was fired before the film was completed, and shares the directing credit with Robert Wise. More

In a new interview, host Chris Harrison opens up about producers focusing on a senior dating show following some criticism of the current ‘Bachelor’ cast’s immaturity.
Feb 26, 2020
AceShowbiz – Everyone, young and old, indeed deserves love. “The Bachelor” recently announced a new spin-off of the show which is for seniors, aging from 65 and up who are “looking for love.”
The producers behind the popular ABC dating franchise revealed in the Monday, February 24 episode of “The Bachelor” that they currently are casting for a new spin-off focusing on senior citizens looking for love.
One producer offered more details on Instagram. “Are you entering your golden years and looking for romance? The producers of The Bachelor are looking for active and outgoing single men and women in their golden for a new exciting dating show,” so Lindsay Liles captioned a promotional picture of the planned series.

Speaking with ET’s Lauren Zima during “Roses & Rose” on Tuesday, host Chris Harrison opened up about producers focusing on a senior dating show following some criticism of the current “Bachelor” cast’s immaturity. “Yeah, this is a knee jerk reaction to that,” he admitted. “We thought instead of 20s, we’re going 60s and 70s.”
Harrison also added that fans often asked him if the franchise had plan to include senior citizens. “[They say], ‘We need love too.’ And they’re right, and so we’re going to do it,” he explained of the show. “We’re going to put this to the test.”
“Everybody does deserve love, and while we can’t service everybody in the world, we’re gonna do our best. We’ve nailed down the singers [with] ‘Listen to Your Heart’, now the senior ‘Bachelor’,” he added.
Harrison, however, noted that there weren’t many details to share as of now. “A lot of it is still up in the air because this is in the gestation phase. And while we’re talking about 65 and older — I don’t think that’s set in stone either because we haven’t… we’re just beginning the casting process, so we’ll see what we’re about,” said Harrison.

Kim and Kourtney are seen throwing punches at each other in a sneak peek of the upcoming eighteenth season of their reality show ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’.
Feb 26, 2020
AceShowbiz – Kim Kardashian and her older sister Kourtney Kardashian got into a fist fight on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”. In a sneak peek of the upcoming eighteenth season, Kim and Kourtney were seen swinging punches and wrestling each other.
Things got tense between the two sisters and it quickly escalated into a physical fight. “You’ve nothing to say!” Kourtney yelled at Kim before throwing stuff at her younger sister. “Don’t ever come at me like that!” Kim fumed before swinging her fist.
Kim previously said she and sister Khloe Kardashian were frustrated with Kourtney because Kourtney was selfish and only wanted to film the show just when she felt like it. “If one family member goes on vacation a lot or takes time off a lot, the other family members have to step in and take over those hours,” she explained to Ellen DeGeneres.
“So for the past year, Khloe and I have been taking over her hours and working because we need content to make the show. So Khloe and I have been really frustrated that we’ve been working longer and we have kids and a lot of stuff going on, so it’s been exhausting for us when she hasn’t taken that into consideration without making a decision of what she wants to do: stay on the show or not.”
The new season will premiere March 29. Kourtney is expected to have less screen time as she said she was stepping back from the reality show to focus on raising her three young children with Scott Disick. “I just decided to spend more time as a mom and put more of my energy there,” she claimed. “But I’m not saying goodbye.”
Rumor has it, the “KUWTK” ratings dropped to a new low. When season 17 kicked off, it reportedly could attract only over one million viewers. “The glory days of the show are totally over. Now just 862,000 viewers are watching which isn’t good! There is fear within E! that the numbers will drop even further,” a source told Radar Online.

However, Santana told Sukihana not to invite Tip. “That manager, girl, she’s out of it,” he shared.
“So recently, my good sis Santana got shot on his arm,” Sukihana explained in confessional. “Santana felt like the shooting was a hate crime because he’s gay, but Tip went on social media and said that the reason that he got shot is because he was actin’ crazy at the strip club.”
“A lotta times, people confused like, oh, he’s a gay rapper or he’s a LGBT rapper. I’m just a rapper, period. And I been through… somre real hood s**t. Like, girl, you makin’ me look crazy out here,” Santana ranted. When Sukihana suggested that Tip might want to set the records straight, he responded, “It wasn’t like you were settin’ the record straight. You wanted to be a tea runner, false tea at that.”
At the end, Santana appeared to change his mind and let Sukihana to invite Tip to his party. “She like the spotlight, so let her come,” Santana said.

The beef between Santana and Tip stemmed from Tip’s comments on the shooting incident at a strip club which was targeted at Santana. He claimed that he was shot because he’s gay, but Tip begged to differ. In an Instagram Live, Tip claimed, “Santana pulled down his pants. Security said, ‘You can’t do that in here, my brother.’ So, Santana, he get loud and go crazy on the security guard. It wasn’t a LGBT discrimination.”
